After a year hiatus and hoping the summer of 2021 deems large sporting events safe from the current pandemic, the NABI Foundation is gearing up to bring back the Native American Basketball Invitational (NABI), scheduled for July 11-17.

The NABI basketball invitational continues to be the largest national premier basketball tournament showcasing talented indigenous youth, and the first to become certified by the NCAA (2007). The 18th Annual Native American Basketball Invitational (NABI) will feature teams (boys and girls, ages 14-19) comprised of athletes representing tribal communities from North America, Canada, and New Zealand.

NABI week officially tips-off on Sunday July 11, 2021 in Phoenix, AZ, and will conclude with the Championship games, Saturday July 17th in our newly renovated arena.
